Hi,

Greenish stool is due to indigestion and fast passage of food through gastrointestinal tract. Protozoal or bacterial infection also can cause this. Taking probiotics like sacharomyces boulardi, kefir or yogurt and banana will be helpful. If no improvement then antibiotic like metronidazole will be needed.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.

Thanks.
